HP Notebook PCs - Overview of Instant On Software Environment

This document is specific for Envy Notebook PCs with Instant On Software and Windows 7.

Instant On Software (IOS) is an optional, instant-on environment that is separate from your
Windows operating system. IOS allows you to rapidly access certain programs without the
need to start the Windows 7 operating system. The IOS environment provides less functionality than Windows 7; however you can use your computer within 10 seconds or less of pressing the power button. You will enjoy the IOS feature if you browse the Internet,
view and send e-mail, view digital photos, listen to music, or keep in touch through instant
messages or Skype. You decide when or if you want to enter the Windows 7 OS to use all of your regular programs.

You are not required to use the Instant On Software when starting the computer. By default, when the power button is pressed, the IOS screen is displayed for a period of time, and you can select any of IOS programs within seconds. However, if you do not select any program, the computer will automatically launch the full Windows 7 operating system.

Skype — Skype is a voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) that lets you communicate free
of charge with other Skype users. With Skype, you can have a conference call or a video
chat with one or more people at a time. You can also make long-distance phone calls to
land lines.

To use programs that require a network or internet connection, such as a web browser, e-mail, or instant messenger program, you must set up the IOS network connection as a separate action from the Windows network connection. The network settings in one environment are not transferred automatically to the other environment. You must set up the network connections before setting up the e-mail connections.

The default web browser in IOS is Splashtop Browser, and the default browser in Windows 7 is Internet Explorer 8. The IOS uses a web interface to access Live Mail, and the default web e-mail program in Windows 7 is Windows Live Mail, which you may have to download from the Microsoft web site.

To set up the network and e-mail connections on your computer with IOS and Windows 7, you must have the following hardware and information from an ISP:

Setting up the network connection in the IOS environment is similar to setting up a wireless connection in Windows. You should set up the wireless network connection in Windows before setting up the IOS connection. This allows you to verify that the wireless device is turned on and enabled, and that the computer can connect to the network. See HP Notebook PCs - Installing and Using HP Wireless Assistant in Windows 7 to Enable the wireless device and leave it enabled. If the wireless device is disabled in Windows, it cannot be re-enabled in the IOS.

You should also set up the Windows web browser, your e-mail service and any Instant Messaging applications so that you have the required URL and IP addresses, security settings and passwords.

To set up the network connection, start the computer in IOS or HP QuickWeb and do the following steps.

Click one of the application icons to display the task bar icons in the lower right-hand corner. Notice that the wireless device is not active because there is no connection to a wireless network.

If needed, press the wireless device button on the keyboard to turn the wireless device on.

On most notebooks, a glowing orange wireless device LED means the device is turned off. The LED glows a light blue color when the wireless device is turned on.

On the task bar, click the Setup icon to open the Configuration Panel window.

Click The Network icon to open the Network Configuration window.

If no wireless networks are displayed, either there is no wireless network in the area, or the wireless device is turned off, or it was not enabled in Windows using the HP Wireless Assistant.

Select the desired wireless (WIFI) network to open the Connect to Network window.

Verify the correct Network Name is selected, and enter the required network Password.

Under Advanced Settings heading, do the following:

Select Security Type used on the network

If WEP, select WEP Key Index.

If None, continue to next step.

If WAP or WAP2 continue to next step. This type of security may be found in a corporate network environment, contact the corporate Network Administrator for instructions on setting the Subnet Mask, Alternate DNS Server, and Default Gateway values.

Select Connect to complete the connection, and then select Close to accept the network connection values and close the Connect to Network window.
